[Active movement therapy after flexor tendon suture using a new dynamic control splint].

The authors constructed a new dynamic guiding splint assisting the active mobilisation after flexor tendon repair distal to the wrist. In these cases, the "inverse" wrist position seems to be the best position for mobilisation. This means that finger flexion should be carried out during wrist extension, and finger extension during wrist flexion. The splint guides and co-ordinates the movements of the wrist and the fingers, and it limits the free usage of the hand.

[Does the flexed position of the wrist releave the stress on the suture in the flexor tendon?].

Authors have examined the optimal position of the wrist from the viewpoint of active motion during the postoperative care, after the suture of the flexor tendons of the hand. Based on clinical and cadaveric experiences a motion of the wrist (inverse) in contrary direction to the motion of the fingers is suggested i. e. flexion of the fingers in wrist extension and vice versa. The tendon injuries distally and proximally from the wrist are discussed separately.

[Tensile strength of new and modified flexor tendon sutures].

Authors tested modified and new sutures and different sewing materials on the deep flexor tendons of the hand in cadavera. Tensile and pull strength examinations were performed. The results were compared with the Kirchmayr-Kessler suture. Suture types suitable for immediate postoperative active motion exercises are suggested.

[Direct measurement of the pulling force affecting the flexor tendons of the hand].

A thought, returning again and again in hand surgery, is the immediate introduction of active motion therapy after the reconstructive operations of the flexor tendons. To the active motion an adequately strong tendon suture, to the definition of "adequately strong tendon suture" however the measurement of the pulling force, acting actually on the flexor tendons is necessary. Authors attempted to measure this pulling force during flexor tendon operations on cadaver's hand. On the basis of their measurements the maximal pulling force, that can be expected during postoperative active movement exercises with adequate circumspection, can be estimated as two kiloponds.

[Measurement of the tensile force exerted on the flexor tendons of the hand].

Immediate postoperative active motion after flexor tendon repair is a recurring theme in hand surgery. In the present study the authors determined the tensile stress of the sutured tendon subjected to active motion by the use of cadaveric hands and a tensiometer. The force necessary to draw forth the proximal stump was also measured. A tendon suture which can resist two kilo-ponds tensile force seems to allow active motion of the reconstructed flexor tendon.
